An app that accepts AIS from a network connection, like for example OpenCPN, Navionics,

BoatBeacon or SailGrib. In this document, we will use OpenCPN, but configuration of other apps

work. We buy our modules from these two vendors:

Remove power from the dAISy AIS receiver before installing the

module.

Plug the WiFi module into AUX Serial so that the VCC and GND pins of

the WiFi module line up with the respective labels on dAISy. With that,

dAISy TXD will be connected to WiFi RXD, and dAISy RXD to WiFi TXD.

The module may be upside down compared to the picture, that's ok if

the pins are connected as described above.

Connect dAISy to power. The LED on the WiFi module should light up.

At any time, the module can be reset to factory default settings by keeping the button labelled G

pressed until the LED turns off.

When first powered up, the module will show up as a WiFi access point with the name Doit_WiFi_x,

where x are the last 6 characters of the module's MAC address.

Connect to this access point with a computer or mobile device. Open a browser and in the address bar
